Chiefs’ Eric Fisher had shoulder, hernia surgeries
 

Q

Now instead of using this off season to bulk up and improve his game he is going to be recovering from 2 surgeries.

Poor Alex.

Brokedick

Dicks: Eat them.

This deserves its own thread.

I really wish there was an ignore feature where I would never see some jackwad who posts "Q."

****ing most reeruned shit on this whole board.

Well lets just hope he finally has his tampon inserted correctly and can now focus on some football.

I just hope we didn't draft Robert Gallery 2.

Q

**** this loser.

He played through injuries last year. Everybody is on him but the kid needed surguries and played anyway. Hopefully now he will be better this year. I knew about the shoulder, not the hernia. Could explain alot actually.

Q...

BUST And I was actually OK with drafting his brokedick ass too. JFC this guy is all kinds of injury prone.

He was successful at Guard!

Sheldon Richardson

Sadly I believe he will end up a bust, but as a fan I hope he becomes a bad ass.

Bust(ed)

RIP #11.

Lets see what hew can do now after being healthy

Bust, didn't like his sorry ass from the beginning. Garbage player.

It like really messes with my head when I think that KC actually had the number 1 pick and this is what we got . :(

What kind of procedure did he have on his shoulder? If it was a labrum or rotator cuff I doubt he'll be 100% when the season starts. He definitely won't be any more muscular then he was last season.

Exactly. Lets see how he does now that he's healthy and playing his natural position. All those dogging the guy couldn't have played through any of it.

That's what I'm thinking, how is he going to lift after a shoulder op?

I'm not an elite alathlete either. With those types of surgeries, the chances of him being able to bulk up and fill out his frame are slim to none. As others have said, poor Alex.....

But it also means if his shoulder was stinging all year long, then just being healthy will make him stronger. That and him transitioning to a position where agility is more important than strength. A few people have commented that Fisher often looked like he was compensating for his shoulder. When you use bad technique, that's when groin injuries can happen.

I'm worried about if the kid just can't stay healthy. And an offseason of conditioning would have been nice. But it's silly to think last year was representative of his ceiling if he was playing hurt. I'm sure the doctors wouldn't recommend surgery for a phantom injury.

Why wouldn't he have had this surgery in, say, February?

Shoulder, groin, hand/wrist injuries last year. I hope he's not Glass Joe.

Exactly.

Hell, it could take a year or more to fully get the strength back in that shoulder if that's the case....

If ever.....

:clap: You nailed it in every way here. The only thing I'm concerned with is his ability to stay healthy.

A ****ing tackle with the first pick ROFL. Only the Chiefs bro.

Exactly.

Fisher = bust

Now I just hope he turns into a decent O-Lineman, forget All-pro.

Selective memory?

He's only going to get better this year. I know because I read it on CP.

What kind of injury history did he have in college? Anything?

I knew it ... he struggled with that shoulder all year long.

They should have shut him down and started Albert and Stephenson

:doh!:

Agreed, more than a few plays where it looked like he simply couldn't use his left arm, which is why it was so easy for players to make an inside move against him.

so he misses two games in 4 years in college, struggles in the rookie NFL season with a position switch vs bigger stronger NFL defenders with injuries and he's an injury prone bust?

yep and why he struggled against power

I hope they didn't make that shoulder a chronic issue.

Don't worry Chiefs fans he's going to be a better player on the bench.

He is only going to get worse this year. I know it because I read it on CP.

Hernia surgery is nothing.

A close friend had it just over a year ago, and 6 weeks before he hiked the entire Appalachian Trail.

The article said "offseason" surgery. That could mean he had surgery in January for all we know.

Pretty sure its the shoulder everyone's worried about.

I hope this article shuts up all the " he will put on some pounds of muscle and get stronger this off season"
That is not happening this year folks. To be completely recovered is the goal now so put the he will get stronger this off season to bed true fans.

Even if he had the surgery the day after the Indy loss, he still isn't going to have much time to truly start lifting, just being healed enough to even get back in the weight room is going to take a while.

Upon reading the quote that said "he's now put on 5 pounds of good weight" my first thought was "that's all?"... yeah, his training has been severely hampered this offseason.

I think its safe to say we can forget about a big strength difference, he'll have to improve due to natural quickness combined with a better understanding of the game/technique this year.

Feets don't fail him now...

Repaired hernias are usually stronger than uninjured hernias. The Marlex mesh is stronger than the body's wall.

So you know what kind of shoulder surgery it was and know the recovery time? If he's already put on 5 pounds of "good" weight, I'd say it is going pretty well.

already going under the knife like he's 30.

christ, this guy isn't going to last long

Of course I don't know the exact surgery, but any op on a pro athletes shoulder should be considered serious.

If the quote about "5 pounds" is true, I'd be shocked... even if true, he better keep on lifting and slamming those protein shakes.

He was getting manhandled in camp by almost everyone. Did the guy get hurt before camp?

If he did, they should have just did the surgery early last year and put him on pup IMO.

This!! Can't believe so many haters expected him to be a stud straight outta college. How many o linemen are pro bowlers tere first year? I'm not an NFL historian but I'd bet the nbera are few and far between. Jesus give the guy a little time. I saw improvement as the season went on. Who knows what the future holds for him but to label him a bust after his rookie season is ridiculous!! Number 1 pick or not.

I was saying my thoughts out loud from last season when he was selected.

Too early to say bust, but I think lowering expectations to salvageable/serviceable is in line with the most likely of outcomes.

It was one of the worst years to have the #1 overall pick. I dont think hed be in the top 5 discussion if he was in this years draft class. Lack of top tier position players last year pushed guys like Fisher up draft boards.

What the **** DO you like about the Chiefs? What's wrong, pookie?Jealous that Claynus gets more attention than you? Nobody says this team has Probowl potential top to bottom, but you take drama queen to a new level.

He'd be the 4th tackle this year behind Robinson, Matthews, and Lewan.

That's my thought. What could he possibly gain by waiting for the procedure? And which shoulder did he have surgery on? I'd assume it was his right.

It says he's been recovering from surgery, not that he just got it. For all we know, he got the surgeries done right after the season ended.

The hits just keep rolling in.

Good to hear since that's the probable case. There's plenty he can do in the weight room to stay in shape and gain muscle mass w/o slowing the progress of his shoulder. I'll be the "true fan" and assume his age will be an asset to a quicker recovery. I still believe the guy will be a stud on the left side.

Gotta go for the safe pick, even though they don't exist.

How nice would it be to have Austin right now?

A midget slot wr who was attrocious whenever anyone got even a single finger on him at #1 overall? ROFL Only on CP.

As opposed to a broke dick right tackle? I'll take the guy that can change a game. And we sort of need a slot WR/ returner as this time.

I'd take Sheldon or Allen if I'd could pick again, but I said I would have picked Austin over Fisher last year before the draft so that's what I'm basing my comparison on.

I'll take the defensive rookie of the year who plays a spot we now are in need of

Yep and Keenan Allen would look real nice right now to.

Change the game? ROFL Yeah, Austin made such a huge impact for the Rams last year that they ended up 4th in their division, again.

His 1 "big game" as a WR came against Indy, in no other game did he go for over 50 yards receiving for the entire season. Closest he got was 47 yards against the Falcons. Game changer. ROFL

Sheldon and Poe would rape faces, that's for sure

draft a Quarterback in every round, it's the only way to win!!!

I'll take a WR with not very good production over a brokedick MAC conference tackle who can't find his dick from his asshole on the field.

One player just doesn't get the ball in his hands. The other gets his QB sent to the hospital in an ambulance.

Lets hope Stephenson will be ready to man Left Tackle if or when Fisher gets injured again.

does that mean Jeff Linchenfarts plugs in at RT then

double edge sword if Fisher gets hurt. lose-lose no matter what because we have nothing at swing tackle

So we just ignore returns? Those yards and TD's don't count? Wr's usually take some time to develop, but I'd love to see Austin in an Andy Reid offense. We could use a guy like Austin right now.

Look. I get it was a weak draft and one which should have required some out of the box thinking but given the current state of the team I'd take Austin this year of Fish for the 2014 Chiefs.
